Globe High School
public high school in Globe, Arizona
Globe High School is a high school in Globe, Arizona. It is the only high school in the Globe Unified School District, which also operates High Desert Middle School and Copper Rim Elementary School.
History
High school classes were originally held at the Central School. Overcrowding forced the construction of a new facility, and the first Globe High School building was constructed in 1913 and completed the next year. The building had two stories and a basement, and it held 250 students in grades 7 through 12. In 1920, a third story was added on top for the junior high school. Other facilities in the building have included a cafeteria, garage, and locker rooms in the basement, plus caretaker housing in the current nurse's office on the main floor.
The first Globe-Miami football game was played in 1924, starting a major rivalry that later spawned the creation of the "G" and "M" hills in each town in 1934, in an attempt to curb vandalism at the schools, and the Copper Kettle trophy, cast in 1947. The game was played on Thanksgiving until 1965, when Arizona's early football schedule forced it to be moved.
Globe High School first expanded to another building in 1949, when former tennis courts made way for a gymnasium and cafeteria.

Why this record matters
The phrase “public high school in Globe, Arizona” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Chronology, provenance and viewpoint should be read together before a broad social or political interpretation is accepted. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 11, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q5570981. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1913, 1920, 1924 and 1934.
Official terminology may obscure informal participation, dissent or communities documented only indirectly. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
